A note on your data

Privacy Policy

Short version: I only collect what you choose to share with me, and I use it only to reply to you.

Last updated: 16 August 2026

Who this policy covers

This policy explains what happens to your information when you visit thesilentchapters.com, send a message through the contact form, or request access to Unsent Letters. This is a personal journal, not a company — there's no marketing team or ad department behind it, just me.

What I collect

I only collect information you actively give me:

  • Contact form: your name, email address, and whatever message you write.
  • Unsent Letters access request: your name and email address, so I can review your request and, if approved, send you a private access link.

I don't run analytics or advertising trackers on this site, and I don't collect browsing behavior beyond what's described here. The site does use your browser's local storage for a few small functional things — remembering which journal entries you've liked, and holding your Unsent Letters access link once it's been granted. None of that leaves your device or gets sent to me.

How I use it

  • To reply to your message if you've written to me through the contact form.
  • To send an automatic thank-you note when you submit the contact form, so you know it reached me.
  • To review Unsent Letters access requests, and — if I approve one — to email you a private link to read them. That link expires automatically after 60 days.

I don't sell, rent, or share your information with advertisers, and I don't use it for anything beyond what's listed above.

How long I keep it

Contact messages and Unsent Letters requests stay in the database until I remove them. Approved access tokens for Unsent Letters stop working automatically after 60 days, regardless of whether they're deleted.

Your choices

If you'd like me to delete your message, your access request, or any information I have about you, just email me at hello@thesilentchapters.com and I'll take care of it.

Children's privacy

This site isn't directed at children, and I don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If anything here changes — say, if I add a new feature that collects information differently — I'll update this page and revise the date at the top.
